Nail Art - Memorial Day Mani

I wore this mani yesterday for Memorial Day. I will probably keep in on all day today, as well, so I can show it off at work :)

I started off with two coats of Orly Au Champagne, then put a coat of Orly Prisma Gloss Gold over it. Next, I cut a piece of scotch tape in half, placed it in a diagonal line across my nail, then painted one coat of OPI Big Apple Red and two coats of China Glaze Ride the Waves. When the tape started getting gunky, I just used acetone and wiped it off. Amazingly, it had enough stick power for all my nails. Who woulda thunk it? Finally, I added the gold stripes with the LA Colors nail art polish in Gold Glitter and topped it off with a healthy coat of SV.

Thank you so much! Usually I don't have the time or inspiration for nail art, but I like doing it every now and then. I'm also a little too timid to try some of the harder designs. But, thanks again...sometimes I even surprise myself!

About Me

I started this as a giveaway blog, and now while I still post giveaways, I find that I don't want to be labeled as one type of blogger. Giveaway blogger...nail polish blogger...life blogger...blog blogger. I am getting carried away. I just want a place to share my life, the things I love, and interest me, whatever that may be at the time.
